In May 2003 I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the pleura, primary unknown. I had CT scan, mamographs and sonographs of pelvic region and nothing showed up. As I was reasonably well in myself it was decided that I should delay chemo. By Dec 2003 I was getting very breathless and I was not so well. I had more sonographs done of my pelvic region and again nothing showed up, they did not even think it was worth doing a laporoscopy. It was decided I should start chemo early January. Having read about PET scans on the internet I enquired whether I could have one. I was told they were fairly new to England (where I live) and I wouldn't be able to get one on the NHS. I decided to go ahead and have one done privately in the hope it would reveal my primary. The PET scan clearly showed I have ovarian cancer, and as it my lungs I know I am classed as a stage 4. Can anyone out there offer me any hope ? I am only 50, and desperatly want to live. I try to feel positive about getting better, but it is so hard when I know my cancer is very advanced.
